Unclean Money Eschewed
Psalm 15:5
He that puts not out his money to usury, nor takes reward against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.


"He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent." The companion of the Lord rejects the fruits of oppression. He will have no money that bears the marks of blood. Nothing unclean will he take into the building of his estate. In earning his bread he will never use a sting; in labouring he will never bite. He will never allow himself to gain an advantage by illegitimate means. He will accept no bribe, nor give any. "Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without light."

(J. H. Jowett, M. A.)
